Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Artist and research Gary Zhexi Zhang will give a talk exploring systemic connections between cosmology, technology and economy.
He will examine identity and individuation in the economy of digital life, beginning with the bodies of parasocial, transindividual agency that populate the internet we have come to know, and into the time of artificial intelligences that meet humans at the threshold of their own incomprehensibility. What forms of subjectivity emerge from the pandemonium of cognitive assemblages, generative realities and artificial agents LARPing as humans as well as machines? Drawing on techno-cultural histories and contemporary developments, Gary Zhexi Zhang explores the predicaments of neural media.
